If
the specified location is a sub-folder of <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Resources</span></code>, it will be placed
into the respective sub-folder. Note: For iOS Apple uses a flat bundle layout
where no <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Resources</span></code> folder exist. Therefore CMake strips the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Resources</span></code>
folder name from the specified location.</p>
